The interconnection of medical resources between Shenzhen and Hong Kong has significantly improved the accessibility of cross-border medical treatment. Chinese mainland residents seeking medical services in Hong Kong can access the latest and best medications, while Hong Kong residents in Shenzhen can benefit from shorter waiting times and affordable medical services.
For instance, the Eighth Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University has established a Shenzhen-Hong Kong Medical Cooperation Center, providing guidance for patients from Hong Kong and Macao. Many hospitals near the ports provide Cantonese-speaking guides at their reception desks or service centers. Hospital brochures and official WeChat accounts are also available in Chinese, English, and both simplified and traditional Chinese characters to assist patients.
